I love poetry but I can't say that I've ever read an erotic poem... until now. "My Secret Sir" is written from the point of view of a very dedicated submissive named Sasha. I've never claimed to understand BDSM but this poem makes for an interesting introduction to the sort of intimacy it engenders. The author Jenna Fox certainly has a way with words. And these words are free!

Poetry is so personal and reviewing it is even more difficult as a reader. I loved the entire idea of submission being in a poem, it had such beautiful images.

I was more halfway through before I realized that it rhymed., which didn't bother me so much as I think the rhythm got out of synch, maybe why I noticed it. That being said I have to give her kudos, I cannot rhyme in poetry like that.

It's a beautiful piece and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Real rating: 3.5/5, but I round up when no half-stars are available.

I’ve read Jenna Fox’s first released short story, The Escape , but wasn’t aware that her writing also ventures into poetry. It was a pleasant surprise to see Fox publishing an erotic poem.

This poem got a 3.5 out of 5 stars from me, and that’s because there were some things I felt worked well, but also a few things that irked me reading it. Overall, though, I feel it’s a great attempt at an erotic poem (something which I find hard to write) and I’m sure Jenna has more in store for her readers.

For those who know me, I’m not a big fan of poems with end-rhyme being the dominant way to finish off lines. This poem makes use of this rhyming, and a few times, I feel it actually worked for the poem. At other times, it felt forced and disrupted the flow of words. There were a few changes in the rhythm, word choice, etc that got in the way. Despite this, there were a few lines with great imagery and those stuck out to me.

Jenna did a great job of introducing the story behind the poem to the reader. I think I enjoyed reading it as a poem, with limited detail and more use of the reader’s imagination more than if it were a short story where there’s more room for the narrator to tell too much. The “secret” part of the title and the “rule” in the characters’ relationship was greatly aided by the reader being “blind” to many details, as well.
